Man Fined for Illegally Storing,
Disposing of Vegetable Oil
A Curwensville man has been fined for illegally storing and disposing of vegetable oil in Clearfield County.
DEP says William Gourley had 122 55-gallon containers, more than 1,000 5-gallon containers and several other containers that all had waste vegetable oil in them. Some of the containers were broken and leaking oil onto the ground, forming pools.
Gourley told DEP inspectors that the waste vegetable oil had been collected to produce biodiesel, but that production had stopped more than a year ago.
He has signed a legal agreement that requires him to contain all leaking oil within one week; remove all oil within 45 days; and remove 100 tons of oil-contaminated soil and sawdust each month. The work is to be completed within six months.
